Family Photography Sessions

Capturing the keepsakes and the outtakes that tell your family’s story

Whether your family’s story is just beginning, or you’re parenting kids whose belly rolls have given way to long legs and teenage attitudes, you deserve family photos that document real life, as it is today.

Lifestyle Sessions as unique as your family

Let me capture images that you and your children will treasure – the ones that elevate the ordinary moments in their lives, from Saturday morning pancakes and bedtime routines to your child’s first days at home or your annual fishing trip at Grandpa’s log cabin.

Classic Lifestyle Family

The JLP Signature Session is your traditional family photo session but still with my documentary-style approach that captures connections and interactions between your family!

  • "I can't stop smiling as I scroll through these :) :) :) wow wow wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I am so glad we did the full session and we did the hike! Zach really opened up at the end! And there are 1000000 perfect ones of Ben being Ben. This is just so US! From the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you THANK YOU!"

  • "We have been using Jess for our family photos for many years. She is incredibly talented and has a real “eye.” She is gifted and very natural with kids so she makes it fun and easy. Even when we think there couldn’t possibly be any good photos from the craziness that is photo taking with young kids, she always manages to get some. Also worth noting are her candid shots. Posing doesn’t always cut it and capturing organic moments are what make her photos all that much more amazing."

    — Isa O.

  • " Jess is amazing. She naturally makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease with her wide smile and infectious laugh. I am forever grateful for them and for Jess' talent!"

    - Drew

If you’re looking for photos that…

  • Document the real moments and feelings that your family’s experiencing at this age and stage, because you know just how quickly everything changes from year to year.

  • Deliver the candid, unposed shots and the silly outtakes you value just as much as the beautiful, picture-perfect moments.

  • Capture your family as you are right now, because you know you’ll want to look back on it all in the years to come, from the belly rolls and the toothless grins to the dance parties and the hugs.

I want this!

If your family appreciates the unscripted moments and the picture-perfect ones in equal measure, let me capture documentary-style and lifestyle family portraits that you and your children will treasure.

Sessions take place in Baltimore, Maryland and surrounding areas.

Hi, I’m Jess

Family and Branding Photographer, Serving Baltimore & Beyond

As a mom of two boys, I understand the desire to capture life as it is, now. To encapsulate those memories and feelings to look back on for decades to come. The feeling of wrapping your arms around your little one, of their sticky fingers in your hands, of the look on your face as you stare in awe at these little humans… that is my goal during our session. To preserve the memories and feelings of this chapter in your story.

Whether you’re here to book your annual family photography session or to gain inspiration to help you share the story of your business, I’m SO excited to work with you.

Let’s create some magic together!
